For a while I have tried to write up a post explaining the reasons I took a (long) break from blogging, as well as why I decided to start back up again. It feels like a long and complicated story to explain, but really, it just stopped feeling like something truly enjoyable to our family […]
Nutella Ice Cream Cake
A while ago I had my brother and his new wife over to celebrate his birthday. I was going to be short on prep time for the meal, so I was trying to think of a quick and easy dessert to have. Thompson insisted we needed to have cake for his uncle, and as I […]
Nutella & Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies. I don't even like Nutella, but it takes a lot of restraint to not single-handedly eat an entire batch of these things. The brown butter adds nuttiness and richness, the Nutella adds a little extra sweetness, and the salt balances it all out. I gave some to my college-aged brother once when […]
Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Asparagus
For some reason the last month had seemed so much busier than normal. With making final preparations for our baby to come, board exams, vacations, busy clinical rotations, and organization projects, dinners have become a much more difficult task to make happen each night. I have always loved one pan or one pot meals, but […]
Breakfast Sandwiches with Maple Sauce
I think I have mentioned this before, but for some reason I have craved eggs almost non-stop this pregnancy. During my first trimester, it was mostly plain fried eggs. Lately though, my preferred method of eating them is in any sort of breakfast sandwich. There are a few local places that serve breakfast sandwiches all day, […]
Thompson's Pumpkin Seed, Maple, & Coconut Granola
Homemade granola is a favorite in our house, but life has been so busy lately we have just been going with the store-bought stuff. The other weekend though, I decided to take a few extra minutes to make a batch. And when I say a few extra minutes, I really do mean a few extra […]
Whole Wheat Banana Muffins
As much as I don't like bananas, I can't ever get enough of banana bread. I have a few recipes I love (this sour cream version is my all time favorite), but I don't make it as often as I want because I know full well I have zero self control when it comes to a […]
Cheddar, Walnut, & Rosemary Chicken Roulades with Apricot Glaze
Sometimes, a restaurant tasting meal is much more work than simple home cooking. But sometimes, it really isn't any more time-consuming. The other day when I was planning out our weekly meals, I realized that the remnants in the fridge--a hunk of aged cheddar, some last few sprigs of rosemary, a jar of apricot preserves, […]
S'mores Cheesecake Shooters
A few weekends ago I threw a bridal shower for my then soon-to-be, now new sister-in-law. She had recently moved to Utah to be close to my brother, and I hadn't yet had much of a chance to get to know her, so I wanted to make sure she felt welcomed into the family. When […]
Spinach and Jalapeño White Chicken Enchiladas
Confession: I have never really loved enchiladas. Well let me clarify by saying by enchiladas I mean authentic enchiladas. Growing up we would have chicken enchiladas made with cream of chicken and lots of cheese that I always loved (and sort of not so secretly still love as comfort food today). My mom would always make them along […]
Fried Shallot & Bacon Wedge Salad with Avocado Buttermilk Dressing
Iceberg lettuce may not be the most exciting of greens, but it does one thing really, really well: the wedge salad. Kale may be having its moment right now, but there is something about a crisp wedge salad that I really love. Maybe it has something to do with the generous portion of toppings that […]
Avocado Buttermilk Dressing
I don't know why, but I always seem to buy more avocados than we can eat before they go bad. I often find one lone avocado in the produce drawer that we forgot about or that I didn't end up needing for a recipe. This avocado buttermilk dressing is my favorite solution to this problem. It's creamy, but […]
